Houshan Park in the early morning.

Houshan Park is located in the main city of Yanjing, with the Forbidden City in front and Yanjing’s Qianhai Lake in the back. The park is full of various exotic flowers and plants, and it is a blessed place for self-cultivation in the capital.

It was just dawn, and there were already busy figures of grandparents dancing and exercising in the park. In the southeast direction of the park stood a gazebo, and the figures of two elderly people could be vaguely seen in the gazebo.

The two old men set up a chess game on the gazebo.

A slightly taller man was wearing a neat Chinese tunic suit, with a brand new pen pinned to his chest, and the old man was holding a steaming purple clay pot, which he brought to his mouth for a sip of hot tea from time to time.

The old man sitting opposite was a little thinner in stature, with a serious and cautious face. He seemed to have not eaten breakfast. He had a warm steamed bun stuffed with pork and green onions and a bowl of steaming hot soybean milk in his hand.

"Old lunatic... What a coincidence! You didn't look for me, I was planning to look for you...Who knew you were more anxious than me! Haha!"

The old scholar didn't sleep all night, he drank too much with Shen Qiu and Master Pao last night, the alcohol in his body has only evaporated until now, and he came here to play chess with the old lunatic Shen Buqi almost without closing his eyes.

The old lunatic Shen Buqi no longer had the madness he had before, but instead had a pair of old and plump cheeks. Maybe it was because Mao Xiaokun's crimes were exposed in the National Teacher Ranking Contest, and people in the whole antique world were aggressive towards him. Accused, his eye sockets are deeply sunken, he doesn't seem to be sleeping well, and the dark circles under his eyes look very heavy.

In short, Shen Buqi, who has recovered his condition now, is far from living as carefree as before.

"Let's play chess first, and talk about things while we play." The old scholar took the initiative to arrange the chess pieces on the chess game: "We should play chess in a real sense, right? We have known each other for so long, and we have never sat down to chat. chat!"

After setting up the chess pieces, Shen Buqi said: "Old scholar, I know you have been investigating Mao Xiaokun's clues, and I also know that you have a lot of details about Mao Xiaokun that you want to ask me, right?"

"It's an old brother for so many years, we have a good understanding! I won't go around in circles in that business anymore, just pick a few interesting questions, old brother! Do you remember what Mao Xiaokun looked like? You can still recognize Mao Xiaokun. Is the boss here? Do you think, among so many people you have met, is there anyone who looks very similar to Mao Xiaokun!"

Shen Buqi stuffed a bun into his mouth, and said bluntly: "Old scholar, are you suspicious of Liu Yangdong? You suspect that Liu Yangdong is the former Mao Xiaokun, right? To tell you the truth, I also suspect that Liu Yangdong and Boss Mao are the same person!"

"You're right..." The old scholar frowned slightly, and started to play chess: "Old brother, you have seen Mao Xiaokun with your own eyes, can't you recognize it at a glance?"

Shen Buqi also started to play chess, raised his hand and opened a cannon: "It happened 18 years ago, and the appearance of people will change. In addition, I have been crazy for so many years, and my memory has been greatly reduced. You can fix the universe at a glance, you can't accept it when you are old!"

"I only think that Liu Yangdong's facial features are somewhat similar to Mao Xiaokun's, but his shoulders are wider than that of Boss Mao back then, and his height is a head taller than Mao Xiaokun's. As for the rest, I can't see them because of my old eyesight. , There must be no ambiguity in this kind of thing, don't identify the wrong person on the spot if you are not fully sure, if you identify the wrong person and wrong the good person, then nothing can make up for our fault!"

The more the old scholar thought about it, the more frightened he became: "Old brother, if Liu Yangdong is really Boss Mao, the consequences would be unimaginable. He holds the right to speak in the Yanjing antique circle and controls the operations of many antique shops. Sha Daquan, even he can single-handedly control the key factors of the National Teacher Ranking Competition, which is too scary!"

Less than 30 meters outside the gazebo, stands a huge stone. The height of the stone is more than four meters.

There are two furtive figures flashing on the back of the huge stone. They are about 40 years old and of medium build. The person in the lead is Zhao Shibo, and his identity is the No. 02 store manager of the Mao family.

At this time, he was staring at the direction of the gazebo, paying close attention to the every move of the two old men in the gazebo. He and his younger brother stuck to the stone surface, trying to hear the secret conversation between the two old men clearly.

"Two little brothers!"

While the two were stealthily eavesdropping, an old man came out of the square dancers. This old man had a fat head and big ears, a bulging beer belly, and a friendly face when he laughed.

"You two little brothers, I have been following you for a long time. You two must be interested in our square dance, right? You secretly want to learn our square dance, right?"

Zhao Shibo was taken aback for a moment, then changed his mind and said, "Yes, yes! Sir, we are really interested in your square dance, but we are embarrassed to say so, so we sneaked here to learn your dance postures, sorry Yes! I’ve disturbed you so much! We’re going to withdraw now! Let’s go right away! Hehe!”

The chubby-faced man waved his hand, and came up and grabbed Zhao Shibo and the two of them enthusiastically: "You two little brothers! Why are you going! You are so strange! Tianxia Square Dance is a family! Since you are interested, come here together Jump two rounds, you can ask me if you don’t understand anything! I promise to know everything! I promise to teach you!”

"No, no, no! No need, sir! There is no need to be so polite, we will withdraw now! Sorry to bother you!"

Zhao Shibo and his younger brother instinctively wanted to retreat, but they didn't expect that the fat-faced man's hands were quite strong, and they couldn't help but to retreat, so they were grabbed by the square dancing crowd.

The uncles and aunts were very enthusiastic, surrounded the two newcomers, pointed out their dancing posture, walking, and various movement essentials, and taught the two newcomers everything without reservation.

"how so……"

Zhao Shibo's face was bewildered, his cheeks were full of embarrassment, he wished he could slap his ears twice, just now he just said he was passing by!Why did I say that I came to learn square dancing!Anyway, I'm also the No. [-] store manager of the Mao family. With an annual salary of several million, I come here to learn square dancing?I can't get along with myself!

……

The chess game in the gazebo.

After Shen Buqi finished the last bite of the steamed stuffed bun stuffed with scallions, he said in a deep voice, "Old scholar, don't worry, everything I'll say next has an inseparable relationship with Mao Xiaokun, as long as we verify these points, I almost have the answer in my heart!"

"First, Mao Xiaokun's stomach has always been bad. At that time, he often carried stomach medicine with his hands. People with poor stomach will have dull complexion and the Changgu point on the back of the neck will be protruding. How many inches out!"

"Second point, Mao Xiaokun has a special point, that is, he is very sensitive to pollen. I remember that we went to Shichahai Park, and he coughed uncontrollably after being exposed to pollen. This is what he said He told us personally, because he had a bad cough and his face was flushed, so he left a deep impression on me!"

"Let me talk about his most important point, which is also the most obvious place to identify his identity. I remember that more than 20 years ago, before participating in the competition, Master Kang Zhengnan arranged for a few of us to go to the bathhouse to take a bath. The process of taking a bath I noticed a special detail, that is, there is a mole three inches below Mao Xiaokun's neck! The mole is also quite special in appearance, it is a mole in the shape of a plum blossom! Just bring out the birthmark!"

"If it is said that a person's facial features will change with the passage of time, then the birthmark on his body will never change. If the three points I mentioned are all verified on Liu Yangdong, then this person is likely to be Nine is that Boss Mao didn't run away!"
